NORMAN, Okla. - DePaul (Division I), Maryville (Division II), Carnegie Mellon (Division III), Ohio Dominican (NAIA), Frank Phillips (NJCAA DI) and South Mountain (NJCAA DII) have been named Academic National Champions for their respective divisions announced the GCAA. DePaul posted the highest recorded team GPA with 3.66. A total of 113 teams submitted GPAs of 3.00 or higher and earned All-Academic Team recognition.
"This is an incredible academic accomplishment to compliment another fantastic year on the course for FPC," says coach John Green. "This group of guys were amazing and I am extremely proud of them. This is the first time to be named the GCAA Academic National Champions. We have been for the past three years listed as All-Academic Team of the Year but this is the first year to finish on top and I see this as a reflection of the awesome faculty, staff, and administration at Frank Phillips College. Without their efforts we would not be able to be on the road as much as we are and still be successful in the classroom. I am proud to bring this recognition to Frank Phillips College and Borger, Texas."
Albion, Brown, Butler, Carnegie Mellon, DePaul, Detroit Mercy, Duke, East Tennessee State, Gonzaga, Mercer, Ohio Dominican, Puget Sound, Seton Hall and Wofford were also accorded President's Special Recognition status for earning team GPAs of 3.50 or better.
